Guild Wars 2

These are the things which worked very well for me. I feel that these make it way easier. I’ve gotten 5 characters through their personal stories, Mesmer, Necromancer, Engineer, Warrior, Ranger; both solo and with friends.

1. Be the right level! Trying to do a PS quest when you’re at a lower level than required makes it significantly more difficult.

2. Have gear of your level! Doing a level 30 PS quest with a level 12 weapon, or no jewelry is very hard. Use the Trading Post, stuff is usually cheap. There is a major difference between having on-level greens or a blue from 10 levels before. That new armor with twice the power is totally worth 2s. That +3% damage sigil is worth 4s. Get earrings and rings. A good rule of thumb is to upgrade gear every 3-5 levels.

Optional:
3. Know your class! If it’s still ridiculously hard, then read a guide on your profession’s forum. I sucked as a Necromancer until I read about a few builds that work. Now every mob around me bleeds to death.
